It was a nice game..I can see the effort u put in. But the only thing i didnt like the camera. BTW liked the cow

Wow. Super impressed with the quality and polish here. I thought it was just a planting/farming game then went to bed and was pleasantly (and also frightened!) surprised. It took me a bit to figure out the controls but eventually got it ;) Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for sticking it through!

Great mashup of genres! The visuals are excellent with all the details like the soil being full of skulls at night and the little tentacles and such decorating the fence.

The chickens were behind it all along! 🐔 And that cow is very chill about providing meat.

I'm not sure what to do with the meat, or if the items the enemies drop have any use. I could also go back to bed in the middle of a wave without any consequences that I could see, for example in the first wave I can skip the rest of the timer at around 1:56 and the second night I think it was with three minutes left.

yea we for sure needed to make a tutorial. Watching our friends play it was agony as  we see them do the wrong thing. But hey such is game dev.

Pretty cool game! Love whacking enemies with the shovel!

oh wow, that's a really nice visual you have in the game, good job. would you try out mine and rate it according.

Of course!

Very well done, both visually and in term of mechanics!

There was a lot to like here. I always love a good farming game. This felt like the start to something really fun. Keep up the awesome work!

Developer(+1)

Hey now... Don't tell me you missed half the game 😉

Submitted

Yeah, I figured out the planting mechanic, planted some tomatoes, then was stuck with what to do next! I've got your game downloaded on my desktop, so I'll give it another shot.

Developer(+1)

We should have done a better job at telling the player what to do... We actually used to have a highlight outlining shader that made it more clear but that got scrapped in the last hour cause the build didn't work sadly. Not a whole lot I can do at this point aside from painfully watch as people miss key mechanics!

Submitted(+1)

That was so well put together, looks really enjoyable. Keep up the good work

Very well made game, not sure how to drink the health potions though that the spiders dropped :D Perfectly made for the theme and was quite fun, I thought there would be something after I ate the burger, but probably just continued the same game loop.

Nice idea and well tied to the game jam theme! 

Developer(+1)

Hmmmm... I think you might be onto something 😉

One of the best game I played so far. Very well done animations, lots of mechanics and theme was on point, can't beleve you pulled this off in only one week. I can see it turning in a full game! :)

Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! :) Though we can't take praise for the animations, that was a free pack :o

Oh my god, I'm shocked by this game. Atmosphere, music, location, mechanics with a battle during the night, and of course the Polish cow meme - everything is done at an incredibly high level! Good game!

Developer

Thank you for such high praise!

Cute game :)

I like how you did the two dimensions in this one. Haven't played any farming games so don't know how much I can comment on that, but whacking spiders around my crops with a shovel was fun.

Submitted(+1)

really fun game, got lost in the beginning by getting distracted by everything around that it took me a while to actually plant and fight things. awesome work!

Submitted(+2)

Nice work! Good dancing cow!

I like the mechanic, it feel so good to play. But for the first time i take me a lot of time to plant something hahahha

I dont like the cinemachine settings, the camera isnt work if I run.

I like the dancing cow :B

It is a lot of work for a 10 days, great work! it's awesome!

Developer(+1)

Cinemachine?? HA, I'll take that as a compliment
